Question

Gravitational force is determined by which of the following

A. Acceleration
B. Mass
C. Volume
D. The sun

Answer 1

Gravitational force is determined by mass

Answer: Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Universal law of gravity, the gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects.

`F=G * (m_(1) * m_(2))/(r^(2))`

Where,

G – gravitational constant =
`\text { 6. } 67 * 10^(-11) \mathrm{Nm}^(2) / \mathrm{kg}^(2)`

`\boldsymbol{m}_(1), \boldsymbol{m}_(2)` = masses of two objects

r – distance between the objects

So, as per this law, the gravitational force is found by mass.
